Marc, I have not touched the slip yolk on my 2002 yet, but servicing it on the 1998-2003 rodeos is much like the F150 write-up Ryan has in his FAQ's. All you need is a socket set, or some open end/box wrenches, some grease, a marking pen & maybe some pliers to cut the shaft boot bands. The rear drive shafts are flanged at both ends, so it's just a matter of marking the flanges and shaft with a line so you can put it back on exactly the way it came off. This is for balancing purposes. Now undo the flange bolts at both ends, drop the whole drive shaft, cut off the boot clamps & slide the two halves of the shaft apart. Clean/degrease the male & female splined ends of the slip yolk, regrease & button it all back up. You can use zip ties or hose clamps for new boot clamps. Rumor has it, red crown grease works well (napa auto parts). The blue silicone grease from ford dealers is supposed to be really good as well!
G/luck
Joel
